Disney has added FastPass+ for the Star Wars Weekends stage shows in Premier Theater to Tier 1, which means they compete against Toy Story Mania and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster for your one initial selection.

Note that Ray Park and Warwick David are not “closed for refurbishment,” they’re just not appearing this day.

You may want to consider FP+ for the show starring the major celebrity from that weekend as they are very popular and there’s usually only one show scheduled over the course of the day. Stars of the Saga is also very popular.

FP+ is less necessary at Behind the Force: Star Wars Rebels because there’s two shows and less interest. It’s also less necessary at Obi-Wan and Beyond because it’s historically been scheduled at 6:30pm, is the same every day of the event, and people are more interested in dinner, Fantasmic, and setting up shop for the fireworks.

With much higher attendance than usual, I’m expecting most or all FP+ selections for the Theater shows and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster/Toy Story Mania to be gone by the night before or very shortly after the Park opens on the day of.

So to recap:

Consider using your one Tier 1 FastPass+ at the Premier Theater Show featuring the major celebrity from that weekend if you’re interested in seeing it. It should cut down on the wait for a good seat from 60 or more minutes to 15 or less.

Disney is selling a package that includes a reserved viewing area for the afternoon cavalcade parade and evening fireworks for $54/adult and $32/child: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/hollywood-studios/feel-the-force/. Waiting for the parade is literally hell on earth as the route is from the entrance to the Sorcerers Hat and 20,000+ people want to see it. Expect wet, humid nights throughout May and June. If you can swing the cost of this package, it will immensely reduce the amount of stress that accompanies these two great shows.

Another question: which do you think is the smarter plan for the second weekend? FPP Stars of the Saga (3:30-4:30 one show) and hope for a SB for WD’s Ewok Tales (5:15-? one show)? Or standby Saga and FPP Ewok? I really want to see both.

Josh,
Any idea on what the dessert is in the dessert portion of Firework viewing of Feel the Force Premium Package? Will you be going to the first one to report back to us? I thought I read somewhere it is a cupcake, which would make sense, but cannot now find that again.
